Great Lakes Acquires Dental Health Products,

 Great Lakes Dental Technologies, Tonawanda, NY, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Dental Health Products, the maker of Dri-Angle products.

The Dri-Angle was designed by a dentist to address the need for a dry field when working with composites, bonding, and cementing. The Dri-Angle, a unique replacement and significant improvement over the cotton roll, covers the parotid area (Stensen’s duct) and effectively restricts saliva flow.

“The Dri-Angle has been part of Great Lakes’ product line for over 20 years,” said David Josza, president and CEO of Great Lakes. “We understand the importance of this unique product to doctors and dental offices. This is a perfect marriage of a good, hard-working chairside product and Great Lakes’ ability to leverage our distribution network, broadening Dri-Angle availability worldwide.”

Dental Health Products, originally located less than 15 miles from Great Lakes’ headquarters in Tonawanda, New York, has shifted operations to Great Lakes, and DHP employees are now part of the employee-owned company.

Great Lakes Dental Technologies has over 200 employee-owners who design, develop, and manufacture appliances and products for use in the orthodontic, restorative, dental, and sleep and airway markets.
